The very in-shape woman you know from work who watches what she eats and won't leave the house unless her hair and makeup are perfect is your typical Libra. Her house and car are clean. Her laundry is done and she is smiling brightly. She even remembered to do something special for her husband because it's a beautiful day and he always does so much for her! She will greet you at work with a compliment and always remember your birthday. She works hard and is very industrious.

Male Libras come in two types, the ones who see themselves as in a committed relationship and the ones who don't. If they are not committed to a mate, they will dress fashionably, and flirt incessantly.

They will iron their clothes, keep in shape and keep their car detailed. Libras will make sure their house is stylish and clean, smile often and be great at small talk. The ones who are in a committed relationship will focus their attention on their mate and the flirting will be kept at least to a minimum. They will plan fantastic and often romantic outings, dinners and vacations for the two of them. Libras will, of course, still be good at small talk and will be outgoing and optimistic.

Beaming with upbeat, positive attitudes, many Libras even seem to have a cheerful skip to their step. Work doesn't even bring them down. They are happy to put the necessary effort into keeping their homes and cars neat and clean. Focusing on the end product rather than the work involved keeps them happy. ​They get enormous joy from well decorated, stylish environments and from looking their best as well. In fact, their favorite color is white because it shows off their cleanliness.

Part of this also comes from a secret desire to be attractive, but they prefer not to discuss that because a desire to be attractive would be considered selfish. Libras consider selfishness to be a huge fault. So, we will leave it as a possible, unconscious, motivation. Fair enough Libras? ​Libra women are often blonde, and longer hair is preferred over short. They love high heels and younger styles. Both sexes will be up-to-date on their style regardless of their age and will also try to stay in step with the current attitudes, music and movies. Libras enjoy conversations with younger people and feel that older people can be boring. Their homes often have wide, open spaces with clean lines which incorporate their favorite color, white!

Ruled by Venus, Libra can't help but enjoy beauty. Whether it's being beautiful themselves, owning beautiful possessions, having a beautiful mate or living in a beautiful home, they want it! However, even if a particular Libra isn't joining in a social revolution, they will always try to be fair and impartial in one-on-one social interactions. Libra is the sign of "others". They spend a great deal of time focusing on what "you" want. If you are in a relationship with a Libra, they will be sure to consider your feelings and what you want in every decision. They will consult you and value your opinion. The Libra will try to give you your way as much as they get theirs and will always try to see your point of view. But even Libra isn't perfect, although many may seem to be as close as a person could ever hope to be! ​They just cannot escape the fact that they are the scales. So, yes, they do have a tendency to judge. With all of the time they spend weighing the facts and opinions, they "are" despite every intention they have, "judging". It's their essence. They are the scales. Yet, they will do their absolute best to be fair and impartial. Even if they must judge, they try to be as fair as possible and always look out for your best interest.

In fact, they are the biggest fans of the underdog, and will offer to help the homeless person on the street corner with the last dollar in their pocket. In Libra's best judgment, the homeless person needs the dollar more than them. Libra, always thinking of the other person! Put a Libra in an ugly, cluttered, stuffy house with a negative mate who doesn't look after themselves or their surroundings and you will see a sad Libra. Yes, that gorgeous smile will be gone. Libras need beauty.

Okay, so all of this focusing on the physical world may make us forget that Libra is a mental, air sign. Ideals and opinions figure strongly in their nature. Libras want life to be fair, they value cooperation and they want to be nonjudgmental. Their symbol is a scale which explains these concerns central to the essence of their nature. They strive to exhibit the qualities they value and try their hardest to get others to do the same. They are often on the forefront of social movements calling for peace and justice. Leading others to join in their view of a better world is a big part of life for many Libras.

It is much easier to pick a Libra sun out of a crowd than a Libra moon. Libra suns always seem like they're running for a political office. They lay on the charm really thick, and try desperately to win the approval of everyone around them. They overwhelm people with their over-the-top kindness, and bombastic personalities. Conversations with Libra suns can feel like interrogations...(Click to read article)
